Generally I prefer walkers than humanoids in the game, because of a lower and thinner profile, a tendency to put higher hardpoints, and better alignment with the eyesight level with the weapon boresight level (with the exception of the Mad Dog). We generally need to see more walkers with the IS.

Walker type designs:
Raven
Mad Cat
Mad Dog
Shadowcat
Nova
Dire Wolf
Warhawk
Stalker
King Crab
Marauder
Ebon Jaguar

Going to throw lots of people into confusion when yelling or typing "crab! at xletter!" You won't know if its the 100 ton face puncher or the pew zap mini crab unless some one targets it.


Easy way to distinguish them once people are used to this:

Crab = 50 tonner.

Krab = 100 tonner.

the crab is an all ct monstrosity even worse than the dragon, without the redeeming features of ebon jag.

it looks like alf, as well.

from the last picture of crab, i must say, i like the crab design much better then marauder (KGC2) or warhammer (box with 2 tubes). waiting for next pictures to show more.

We'll find out on Tuesday.

The "best comparison" I will make is ultimately comparing it to the Trebuchet-5J. Referencing Hunchback-4P is not actually not comparable.

I'm aware only the 4th variant gets the JJs, but the variants are pretty much 5E with one with 6E.... which isn't going to be too exciting.
